I am a licensed psychologist by Valvira. I am a qualified psychologist for the Cool Kids anxiety treatment program for children and adolescents and have run this program both with individual families and for a group of families. I have also completed the Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) program. TF-CBT is an evidence-based treatment for children and adolescents impacted by trauma and their parents or caregivers. After graduating, I have worked as a psychologist in a child guidance and family counselling centre in Lapland, as a student welfare psychologist in Jyväskylä and as a psychologist at Children's specialist appointments in Helsinki. Through my years of study and previous work experiences, I have a vast experience in working with children, adolescents and young adults, and I also have experience in working with families and couples. I feel that even one, genuine encounter, can have a positive impact on a person's life. Sensitivity, openness and trust are important elements in human interactions and during our appointments. I work in a rather solution-oriented manner, without forgetting to work on the emotional level. At my appointments, everyone is welcome as their authentic selves, regardless of, for example their family and relationship forms, gender and sexual orientation and ethnicity.
